First Thoughts on Panasonic LUMIX S 100mm F2.8 Macro
I recently picked up the LUMIX S 100mm macro lens for my S5. I already had a 30mm macro for my G9, but I wanted a dedicated macro for my full frame Panasonic camera. I don’t review products or anything, but I thought that I would share images from the lens to help friends considering the lens. We had a nice spring day and then a winter weekend, so it was easy to test the versatility of the lens. Here are a few shots from my first couple of days with the lens.
